Thats a mk6, the mk7 is the brand new 1, different shape all together! you are getting confused with the mk6 and the mk6 face lift!

Window tints and lowering sounds good but not a big fan of twin exhausts! A nice set of alloys would look good

ye thought bout alloys. was gonna get the eibach 30mm lowerin kit but not sure wat to put on. 15's or 16" alloys. sum of the wolfrace 1's look nice. but gonna leave the alloys for few month. thinkin bout havin it sprayed black but we'll see wat happens. its just the plain silver the now. looks good. but plain.

Spray it black? Didn't it occur to you to buy a black one in the first place?
Full resprays are pretty expensive.

it did but at the time they had highish mileage and wanted a good lookin car wi average miles in top condition mechanically. this 1 is top quality. looks good as it is. I could leave it silver and just do thins to it lik stripe it and tint. but gettin a stripe on it in the right colour wi out lookin stupid just wi the car bein silver.

There's a silver one by me with black stripes. I'm not sure if it looks good because they've put so much other tat on it.
White stripes might look good, but with tinted windows your car may start to look like a crossword

neil beuar suggested gettin metalic grey strip. sounds lik that mine be fine but would want to see it on sum 1 elses before just gettin it done and it lookin daft.

Got the chance of 17" next to new wolfrace triad alloys for £300. wat yous think. sure the standard alloys that are on it are 15's the now. would these fit no problem wi out smashin the arches. its not been lowered yet. but want to get it dropped be either 30 or 60.
